I bought this nice wee mini system(Pye Isotronic ESC400), I really like it. I wasn't so keen at first, as the speakers initially reminded me of the nasty silver systems the warehouse used to sell, but they actually look fine after letting go of that association.
Most Isotronic systems seem to be those all in one record/tape/radio units, with a not particularly flash reputation - but this one weighs a lot, and everything seems solid/well made with good components. Also has a very high output power rating for the size.
Most importantly, it sounds good too.
Was in lovely condition, just gave it a clean, including the tape heads.
I'd be interested to see any info about it, I couldn't find a single mention of it.
I uploaded a short video of it in action here:
I'd like to keep it, but I'll probably sell it if it has a decent value, as I need the $ unfortunately.
Inside the tape deck: (I thought I'd taken pics inside the amp too, but can't find them at the moment)
Chunky metal shell.
